rThe ends 0,' c, are constituted by the squared seamless closedend-portions of' the pouch or bag. The lbottom d is constituted bv thesquared-seamless closed bottom-portion of said pouch or bag. At h, Figs.1 and 3, are reinforcing and end-s Haring thicknesses in connection withthe said ends c, c.' and at z', Fig. 2.' is a reinforcing andbottom-squaring thickness in connection with the said bottom d. The saidreinforcing and squaring thicknesses space the sides 'of the receptacleapart and give the receptacle a rectangular shape in k,cross-section.

A receptacle emhodvmg the features shown in Figs. l, 2 and thereiiore ispreferable as regards appearances'. and for other reasons. to areceptacle having ends and a bottom which normally collapse, and whichbulge or sag under the pressure or weight of the cona tents of thereceptacle.

The cover orflap ply e is connected in the weaving with the ply bi at the mouthofthe pouch or bag, as. shown at the left in Fig. 7, frein one line ofclosing as to the other. To provide for the end reinforcements It, la,Figs. 1, 3, and 4, the p'lies, a, t', are weven in the form 'fcntinuations' k', It', Figs,l 5l and 6, beyon" t :e line's of closingas, the said continuations' being' utilized presently will beexplained.; Toprvide for the bottom reinforcement z', Fig. 2, the pliesa', bj', are extended la'terall, beyond he line' of union a2 in theforni o two longitudinal strips i? 2, Figs. and 7, corre sponding if;iengul a) the distante between the two transverse c osing lines af as.The said strips are ailizd as presen ly will be. explained.

In closing the ends of the pouch or bag at a3, a3, Fig. 6, warp-threadsare merely crossed from ply a to ply b", vand vice `versa, as shown' inFig. 6. y

In Weaving the portion of web containing .extensions la', t, the weft orfilling is inter- Woven with vthe Warp-threads as in Fig. 8. Starting,for instance, at point 2 at the efthand'edge of the web in Fig. 8, theweft or filling extends from left to right through the ply a to thepoint a2; then passing from ply zto ply 5, it extends from right to leftthrg'h ply b to the left-hand edge of the web; then, it returns fromleft to' right to point a2; then. passing from ply bto ply a', itextends through ply a" from right to, left, to a point adjacent thestarting point. In order to weave the cover or flap ply e withpractically perfect selvages at both edges thereof in this portion ofthe web or fabric, using only a single shuttle for all three plies,theweft or filling is passed from ply to ply e at the right-hand side ofthe' 90 web', as at e2', Figs 5 and 8, atv intervals in the weaving ofvply b', and extends back and forthv Within ply efor four or more picks,inter-Weaving with the warp-threads of such ply to forr'n the latter,and thenreturning to ply b after, say, the fourth pick, and interweayingagainwith the warp-threads of therespective plies 6 and a" a nuinber ofpicks before again returning to ply e. The result of this is indicatedin Fig. 5, in which the connecting portions of weft or filling alternatein the selvage of ply e with porions of such selvage' which are bound byreturn-bends of Ithe weft or filling ,'woven this portion'of the web thewe' or filling does not interw'ea've with the warp-threads pertaining tothe longitudinal Strips '52, 2, and such Warp-threads Simply o'at, asindicated by the dots at the right hand side' in Fig. 8.

' each of a length suitable weaving, and avoid useless expenditure ofwett or filling, inasmuch as such extensions are not required to have alength as great as the projecting end-portions or' the cover or dap.Between the end of the longitudinal strips 2, 2, of onereceptacle-length and the beginning of the corresponding strips of thenext receptacle-length, the 'warps of such strips similarly floatWithout being interwoven with weft, as in Figs. 5, 8 'and 9.

'llhe web woven as represented in'Fig. 5, and containing any requirednumber ot' receptacle-lengths is divided up into blanks, for areceptacle, cutting across the ply e and the floated ther other twoplies, on the transverse lines 9, 9, Fig. 5, intermediate successivepouches or bags. A length or blank thus separated from the web is'represented in longitudinal section in Fig. 6. ln such blank the coveror dsp is integrally joined to the top edge of the back or rear side ofthe receptacle from one line of union or closing a? tothe other, andend-portions thereof project beyond the closed ends of rlhese projectingend-portions are selvaged at both the upper and lower edges thereof.rl`he short looseportions e2, e2, of weft or filling which connect thelower edges of such projecting end-portions to the lower portions of theextensions k', h', are cut in order to free the lower edges of the coveror flap, and are then trimmed away. rjlhe said end-portions then arefolded back upon the adjoining portions of the cover or Hap, the raw orcut edges are turned under, and the folded-back portions are stitched inplace as shown in Figs. l and ll. Each end of the receptacle is nishedby turning the extensions il', h, at such end back in oppositedirections against the adjoining portions of the side-plies, and

Thecorner-projections lo', la', now turned inwardl as in Fig. 2 contributeto keeping the wi th of the bottom and maintaining the shape of thelower corners. IThe end-reinforces k, it, constituted by the vera ticalend-extensions h', h', give shape to the receptacle at the ends of thelatter, and x the depth ot the receptacle, and its interna] diameter atthe ends, by squaring the saidv ends and holding the sides apart at theends. lin consequence of the end-portions of the iiap or cover beingjoined to the ends of the receptacle and extending half-way forward fromthe back, the top. of the receptacle thereby is more eil'ectuallyclosed, and its contents better protected, when the cover or flap isturned down and secured in place. The fastenings f, g, ma be appliedeither before or after turning t e receptacle inside out.

Fig. 10 shows a receptacle modified in re spect of the end-portions c,e, of the cover or tlap e". ln this modification the said end# portionsdo not extend partway forward upon the ends of the receptacle, as inFigs. 1 and 4, but project in line with the rear side, with theextremities of such end-portions simply folded back, their cut edgesturned under, and' stitched in place. The cover orap is longer than 'thereceptacle, so that said end-portions project bevond the ends of thereceptacle, to more eiiectually close theopening and protect thecontents. ln weaving the receptacle of Fig. 1U, l weave the'cover er Happly joined continuously to the 'rear' side of the receptacle only tor a`distance corresponding with the length of the. finished receptacle,namely ply in weaving portions thereof in alterE nation with portionsinthe other two plies,

as already explained `with reference to Figs. l

vlin the second wav oil .fw ing out 'my invention, illustrated in Figs.1l and l2, the.. continuous web or 'fabric is woven with the `openingsor mouths of successive 'pouches' ror bags extending transversely otsaidweb or fabric.; and the elo bottoms also' en tendinel transverselythereof, with the lines on which the ends oit the pouches or bags areclosed extending longitudinally' ot the web or fabric. e web or tabricfof Figs. Ilil and l2 is woven in twdplies, one-ave the other. At' ity?,Fig. il, the two plies constitute the freintog' porno 'for the reobottom of a receptacle. Succeedingthe pro- -fduction of such portions,vthe two plies are woven together atp to form the line of closing Aorunion for the bottom of the receptacle. lNext the two plies are woven ofsufficient extent to constitute the two sides a, b5, of the pouch or bagof the receptacle, such plies being joined together inthe weaving, alongthelines a, a", to close the ends of the said pouch or bag, and beingcontinued laterally beyond such lines at the opposite margins of the webor fabric to form the opposite pairs of end-reinforcing strips h5, if.The succeeding portions of the web or fabric are flap-portion Ac5,followed by the bottom-reinforcing portions 4, 4, for the 4next pouch orbag, and so on. The bottom -reinforcing portions 4, 4, may be woven astwo plies which arev entirely unconnected with4 each other at one marginof the web or fabric, and practically unconnected at the other margin,they being merely connected at "intervals by portions of weft or fillinge2 extending from one to the other, as described with reference to Figs.5 and 8. That is to, say, the web or fabric being produced with oneshuttle, I first weave a number of picks in one of the plies, say four,without weaving in the other ply; I then weave a corresponding number ofpicks in the latter ply, without weaving in the first ply; I then Weavesaid number of picks in the first ply again, and so on. The result isthat the portions 4, 4, are produced with perfect selvages at one marginof the web or fabric, and although they are joined together Vby theconnecting portions e2 of weft or filling at intervals at the othermargin, yet when such portions of weft or lling are cut-and trimmed theselvages. at such margin are practically as firm and perfect, andl areentirely satisfactory. The dine a4 of closing or joining the sides ofthe pouch produced merely by crossing the warpthreads, as at the linesa3, a3, in Fig. 6.

The main portion of the' pouch or bag may be woven as in Fig. 12, inwhich, starting at the point 3 at the left-hand margin of the web orvfabric the weft or 'filling extends toward the end-reinforcing strip'for the width of the said reinforcing strip. At the pointfl,corresponding with one closed end of the pouch or bag, it passes up intothe ply a5, and continues to the right in the latter to the point 5,corresponding with the other closed end passes down,-

of the pouch or bag, where it and continues to the right through thelower end-reinforcing strip h5 at the right-hand margin of the web orfabric. It then returns from right to left through the said reinforcingstrip and the lower ply b5 to Athe point 4 at the left-hand end or bag,where it vpassesinto the upper ply lpasses down to the lower at theright-hand side, right-hand margin.

I have shown the cover or Hap e5 produced by weaving in the upper plyalone in continuation of the back sideJ of the pouch or bag, until asuiicient length of single-ply fabric for the purposes of a cover or Haphas been produced. After said cover or Hap portion has been woven, thetwo bottom-reinforcing plies 4, 4, for the next receptacle and so on. Inweaving the cover or Hap-portion and the said bottom-reinforcing pliesa4, a4, the warpthreads of the end-reinforcing strips h5, h5, fioat asin Fig. 11, and subsequently are trimmed from the ends of said strips.

The web or fabric produced in the manner last described is divided upinto receptaclelengths or blanks by cutting across tne two plies 4, 4,adjacent the end of the cover lor A short portion of the under ply 4 isleft upon the top edge of the pouch or bag, to be folded back with itsraw or cut edge turned in. and stitched in place, as at e7 in Fig. 13,to finish oii' the said edge.

` The receptacle is otherwise finished substanvcontemplate also weavingthe cover or flapportions e5 ina flat and extended state, with thewarp-threads of the opposite ply floated from the top edge of the frontside of the pouch or bag to the beginning of the correspondingbottom-reinforcing portion 4 for the next pouch or bag. i

Double bottoms and double-end-walls such as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 maybe further reinforced if desired, in accordance with one feature of theinvention, by inserting between the bottom d and the twobottomreinforcing plies 2'., lengths or strips o, o, Fig. 14:, ofreinforcing material of metal, vegetable fiber, etc., lengths or stripsp, p, Fig. 15, between the end-reinforcing plies la, and theendwalls c,c. l

Figs. 16 and 17 show -a diferent'way of producing 'the woven receptacleand itsl inof-the pouch te gral end-reinforcements. The receptacle rightthrough the said" and by inserting similar -es iswoven aceordingtowell-y Returning from right i iin p maant -fabric with the pliesunconnected along one margin to form the open mouth of the receptacle,and joined together lengthwise of the receptacle to close the bottom ofthe latter, the said plies being interwoven at intervals to close theends of the receptacle. The requisite fullness of the receptacle isprovided for by well-known procedure. Beyond the closed ends the Weavingis continued to form end-reinforcing portions, such portions interveningbetween one pocket or pouch and the next inv the web as produced in theloom, and being cut throughy transverselyin severing one receptacleblankfrom the. rest. The result is vthat as shown in Fig. 16 the'receptacleis woven with the end-extensions k", ha, in line with or continuation ofthe back-Wall b", and in this instance of greater thickness than saidback-wall as a result of interweaving therein Ithe warp-threads of thefront-wall a8 and ends o8, c", in addition to those of the back# wall.In finishing the receptacle the said end-extensions are folded aroundagainst the endscs, cs, as indicated in dotted lines in ig. 16, andsecured to the said ends by stitc es h1", hw. After the bag has beenturned inside out, the result is as shown in Fig. 17. The additionalreinforcement of Fig. 15 may be added to the construction shown in Figs.16 and 17, as will be Figs. 18 and 19 show a bottom-reinforcementproduced in manner similar to that in which the end-reinforcements ofFigs. 16 and 17 are-produced, namely, by weaving the receptacle with abottom-extensionin line with continuation of one of the walls in thisinstance the back wall b, and o eater thickness than said back wall. 1nnishing the receptacle the said bottom-extension is folded aroundagainst the bottom of the receptacle, as indicated in dotted lines inFig.. 18, and seciired to the said bottom by stitches lin.
